A winter’s day sunlight shining down
Back in the hills snow is still upon the ground
The wind is gone blew itself back out to sea
Which gives me hope that spring will come here finally
A winter’s night
Where is the light
The wind is back
I fade to black
horizontal sleet and rain
promised for the break of spring angry storms assault my home shut my doors and stay alone
Tasmanian holiday
Why would I ever want to go away
Tasmanian holiday
All those years ago I came to stay
I raised my boys to grow up fine and true
Speak for themselves not hesitate to tell the truth
If I could search
for the shell that held the pearl
Right where I stand
No finer place in all the world
And I raised my voice ’cause there was madness in the air Holy ground betrayed river wounded forest bare
Trusted my crowd to see that fair was fair
That simple choice – I brought myself some trouble there
Tasmanian holiday
Why would I ever want to go away
Tasmanian holiday
All those years ago I came to stay
